First Communion Pics
If you are interested in preparing your children to receive their First Holy Communion, All Saints offers instruction for youth from ages 7 and up. First Communion is not a prerequisite for those wishing to receive the Communion in our church, but it is a wonderful way of educating children about the church, the faith, and the stories of Jesus.
Looking at the Ascension (this Sunday):
St. Augustine considered the Feast of the Ascension the crown of all Christian festivals, and we celebrate it this week in place of the propers for Easter 7. The Ascension is an opportunity to put some closure on the season of Easter. It is helpful to be reminded of the seasonal nature of our life as Christians, that things come to a definite end, and that these endings are marked by celebration and joy.

Are you coming to the Novenas?
May 17, 2012
All Saints has started its cycle of prayer for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and we invite you to attend one or more of the services. They are called Novenas, for the Latin word nine. We are using Anglican rosaries, a circle of beads with larger “Cruciform Beads” and smaller “Week” beads. There are some rosaries available for a small donation – they were made by one of the Franciscan Brothers. Those without rosaries are still able to pray. The prayers engage us in the active mission of God in the world, and give us an opportunity to reflect on our own gifts. We pray for ourselves, for the world, and for the great needs we encounter every day. The Schedule is available in the church or call the office at 323-255-6806, or email allsaintsla@gmail.com

All Saints Roof Update
We are moving closer to finishing the roof of the church. As you know, shingles were blown off last November, and now, working with a construction company and our insurance company, there will be a meeting next week to discuss beginning the process of refinishing the entire roof. Stay tuned for more details.
Support group for women

All Saints works in the Community
On Thursday, April 26, over 25 people gathered at All Saints to discuss "Kahilidad," a word made from combining the Hebrew and Spanish words for Community. It was the second Town Hall meeting of community members, mostly from All Saints Highland Park and Temple Beth Israel. Other community agencies such as One LA, the Northeast LA Clergy Association, Academia Avance, the Cub Scouts, were also present.
The meeting began with a prayer from Fr. Tom and an introduction from Josh Schorr and Rabbi Susan Goldberg, both from Temple Beth Israel, about working for the betterment of the community and the betterment of ourselves.
Participants broke into small groups and discussed the main issues they would like to see addressed in our community. After a lively and thoughtful discussion, the following issues were presented.
Community meals and feeding
Health Care / a health fair
Youth, jobs, support gangs
Elderly care
Activities for younger children
Literacy
Schools and education
A steering committee was formed to further the conversation and future community work. All Saints Sr. Warden George Gati and several other All Saints members will be part of the steering committee, which will meet on May 9th at All Saints. Anyone interested in participating is invited to come on that day.
This work will help guide the direction of All Saints social ministries in the future. Please pray for the guidance of those involved and the will of the community to offer care and support.
